Jul 11, 2016 i re created roger troutman's mini moog sound patch on my Microkorg.this sound patch sounds exactly the same. ROGER TROUTMAN MINI MOOG SOUND MICROKORG TALKBOX.
Korg UK that this week is the 15th anniversary of the introduction of the Korg microKorg virtual analog synthesizer. It was launched at Summer NAMM Nashville & BMF London in 2002. The Macbook pictured with it was cutting edge for the time.
In the last 15 years, the microKorg has been such a success that it’s led to an explosion of affordable minikey synths, ranging from the Novation MiniNova to the Roland JD-Xi. And, while Korg has released color variants and tweaked the hardware a bit, the microKorg you get today is essentially the same synth that launched in 2002. Here’s an official Korg intro to the microKorg. You’re comparing a 15 year old synth with a new synth. In which case, Jd-xI should be ALOT better than it is.
I’d take a micro-korg any day over the roland, that JD range is just a very confused set of compromises, saving patches being an excellent example of its hodgepodge of an OS. The mininova was one of the most direct competitors, but it never sounded as warm to me. Companies have been looking to make the microkorg killer for a long time, and from watching a sales rep this weekend the minilogue is the closest runner at the moment, he wouldn’t even dream of trying to sell this guy a virtual analogue.
